Lion King Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) There is a rumor about Modular GWP coming up in 2024. However, there is very little info at the moment. Set number: 40681 Name: Retro Food Truck Piece count: 310 Number of minifigures: 2 Release date: January 1st 2024 Availability: LEGO Price: $150 Edited December 28, 2023 by Lion King Quote
hikouki Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 It has been a vehicle for at least the last two… What could go well with a museum? Cotton candy cart (for the side garden)? Forklift for hauling boxes of dinosaur bones? A Jeep/ SUV (reference to Jurassic Park)? An alien spaceship/ saucer to go with the Space exhibit? Quote

Yup i do assume this GWP would be a vehicle set too but it’s quite challenging to think what it would be for museum. You get some good guesses! For me, I could only think a few vehicles and carts: 1.) Police car (stereotypically, robbers breaking in museums, lol) 2.) School bus (unlikely) 3.) Transport Truck (to bring and deliever fossils and other displays) 4.) Flower Cart 5.) Popcorn Cart Quote

As for the flower cart, it's highly unlikely. One came with the detective office as a GWP. If it's a police car, it will make sense with the police Station too, and everyone who was upset about their not being a police car / wanting a official old-timey police car, will be forced to buy the GWP. (This sounds like something so devious, Lego might just do it!) Edited October 27, 2023 by Murdoch17 Quote

(This sounds like something so devious, Lego might just do it!) I don’t know if that flower cart is considered as a modular GWP but I see your paint anyways. It has been eight years now, I don’t think it will be a problem if hey do a new flower cart GWP? Yup, exactly about police car! It will make more sense for both museum and police station. Police Station feels incomplete without their car… Quote

Lion King Posted October 31, 2023 Author Posted October 31, 2023 I’m quite surprised and pleased that it is a hotdog truck GWP to go with Natural History Museum! Quote
Aanchir Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Yeah, while it's not the most intuitive pairing, a hot dog van certainly makes more sense here than it would with other recent Modular Building sets that include eateries or food kiosks of their own. The pastel color scheme is also a very good fit for the modular street's vaguely mid-20th-century setting. Quote

El Garfio Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) According to Brick_clicker is going to be the GWP from Jan 1st (150€ in purchase) Edited December 25, 2023 by El Garfio Quote

December 1st has come and gone already. Already got the modular, but there's plenty of other things on my wishlist for the coming month (Ninjago, Monkie Kid, Friends, maybe even some of the City space stuff) so hopefully at least some of those themes will qualify for it.

R0Sch Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 Here's the digital model for the truck: 40681.io Quote
RichardGoring Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 I think it looks lovely, and looking forward to getting one next week. More six-wide early- or mid-century vehicles please! Quote
AllanSmith Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 I am getting this to go with my Food Truck empire. Quote

Undi3sss Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Happy New Year to those in Australia! Lego’s website doesn’t seem to have this food truck as a gwp yet so perhaps the rumours for this coming out on January 1st are wrong or they just haven’t fully updated their website ? 😭. Either way I’ll have to wait a bit longer before making an order with all the new sets I want so I can get this gwp 😂. Quote

Murdoch17 Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 (edited) EDIT: Nevermind. Edited January 1, 2024 by Murdoch17 Quote
Greshi210 Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 (edited) I just ordered on lego.de and the food truck was part of the order. It's also listed in the confirmation email. However, it only appeared at 20 past 1, not at midnight. Edited January 1, 2024 by Greshi210 Quote
